R.I.P. Elmo
.
I bought a bottle of spray-in conditioner way back in '94. When it ran out, I bought a new one, filled the old bottle with water and wrote WATER with a sharpie on the sides of the bottle so I wouldn't get confused.
During the last 12 years, I have refilled that bottle countless times. I have re-written the words WATER each time they began to fade, even though they haven't made this brand of spray-in conditioner for 10 years now and I no longer need the clarification of which bottle is which.
Lately I had been using the bottle to help me cool off at night since it has been so hot here. Today while packing up, I tossed the bottle on the bed and went off to do some stuff. When I came back in, I noticed a big, wet spot under the bottle. And that is when I saw the crack.....
*sniff*

Mez: Yes it was a bit sad. I am hopelessly attached to things like that. I think I still have a box full of all my old stuffed animals from when I was a kid. My parents keep threatening to throw them all out, but I just won't hear of it.

I thought spraying hair causes frizz?

Have you seen my hair? A tornado couldn't cause frizz. Actually, the spray bottle was to wet it more so I could put it up in a ponytail or whatever. My hair has to be wet to do something like that or forget about it.
